Visual Appproaches In CAS

If you are "cleared for a visual approach" by Approach/Radar is it implicit that you may descend as well from your last assigned level?

The reason I ask is that some airfields will add " no altitude/height restriction", and others are silent on this matter.

Being a cautious chap, I tend to ask whether there is any altitude restriction. Invariably they confirm that there is no descent restriction.

[It goes without saying that you may not go below the ILS glidepath, and join final not closer than xx dme for noise purposes]
